As an experienced trader, a broker’s regulatory status is always one of my first priorities when considering where to trade. With LINE FX, I found that the company is officially regulated in Japan by the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA), under license number 関東財務局長(金商)第3144号. This is issued to LINE Securities Corporation, making them a licensed retail forex provider within Japan. Japanese financial regulation is strict compared to many regions, and the FSA is recognized for imposing robust requirements around client fund segregation, risk management, and transparency. For me, trading with a broker regulated by the FSA offers an added layer of assurance regarding operational integrity and client protection. However, there is a notable point: while the primary entity is FSA-regulated, there are indications in some sections that the broader operation, or affiliated entities, may not always fall under active regulation. As a conservative trader, I always advise thoroughly verifying which entity your account is actually held with and ensuring it is under direct FSA oversight. Ultimately, I view LINE FX as having a formal regulatory framework in Japan, which is a positive. Still, I remain extremely careful about large deposits, always checking that my account and funds are clearly protected by Japanese regulations before making any commitments.
